Watching her pupils work on their parts, Vinnia's heart swelled with pride. Lisha's rich alto tone lent an air of seduction and compulsion to the first verse. Morgance's soprano, though strained with anger, sounded sweet and fragile, which lent a rather ironic air to the second verse. And Casady's plaintive, wailing tenor really drove the point of the third verse home.

And when the three voices joined together in perfect, blended unison, then split off into their separate parts...Vinnia was left completely speechless.

There was something beautiful at work; something beautiful...and scandalous.

Once the day's work was complete, Vinnia headed to her apartment, where Trace was waiting with something behind his back. Confused, Vinnia closed the door behind her. "What are you doing here? Don't you have a meeting to attend?"

Blushing, Vinnia turned her face so that Trace could not see her heated cheeks. "Ah, Trace, you're too kind," she muttered, both honored and confused. This gesture of kindness still did not explain Trace's distance as of late. "You didn't have to do that." She found herself blushing again. Stop it, Vinnia!
